Father's Day Card

Every father's day I make my husband a card with a horse image on it, because he had a pony as a boy, and later we owned a couple horses when we first got married. This year I used an inkadinkado image, stamping him in dark brown ink on a vanilla panel. I embossed the kraft background with a Darice horseshoe ef and then darkened the horseshoes with a Copic marker. I used a SU! teeny tiny wishes father's day stamp; inked with Versafine ink, then heat-embossed with white ep on an early espresso cardstock panel. I added some brown and white twine, die-cut the card base and both panels with Lil Inker stitched rectangles, and added an old SU! hodgepodge hardware square clip to the side for a fun masculine accent.

Surely your husband has loved so much this card!!! It's just amazing! Fab horse and love the clean layer onto the embossed one with the horseshoes!!! Great colouring on them with the maker, clever idea! Love the squared clip, too, such a brilliant embellishment!Very well done!

Beautiful card Carol! I LOVE that embossing folder and have never seen it before, will be searching for that one right away. I will go nicely with my Serendipity Horse stamp. That's neat that you make him a horse card every year. Wonder if I have any stamps that you don't? Think I have a TAC (The former Angel Company)set too besides my Serendipity one?

This card is a real beauty, Carol! I love the design! The horse stamp is awesome as is the horseshoe embossed background! Love, love, love and i'm sure your hubby is going to love it too! TFS and hope your staying cool! :)

What a great masculine Father's Day card Carol!!! How fun that hubby had horses when little and you guys did when first married as well. I love horses, although they do intimidate me a bit by their size, but I know a lot can be gentle giants. They are beautiful creatures indeed and I think hubby will love his Father's Day card. Hugs, Brenda

Oh I do love this card! That embossing folder definitely caught my eye and it's a perfect fit for your great image. The stitching is great, too. Just love everything about it! Thanks for joining us at Tuesday Throwdown!
